Former Canadian soldier Brittney, aka β€œZhuk,” serves in Ukraine’s 25th Airborne Brigade.

After training Ukrainian crews on Leopard tanks, she joined the front herself. Now an FPV drone pilot, she says she has zero percent Ukrainian blood but loves Ukraine.

Want a clear indication that Donald Trump's health is abysmal? Want an insider info signal that his medical prognosis is extremely poor?

Here it is: MTG is massively toning down her rhetoric and runnin' to the middle. She's either vying to be named the next VP or running for president in 2028.

Ukrainian assault troops cover the retreat from Pokrovsk Pokrovsk is about to fall. A recent attack by the 425th Assault Regiment wasn't an effort to save the city. No, it supported a wider retreat.

Trump claims losses were because he wasn't on the ballot (narcissist much). Exit polling tells a different story. Trump was on EVERY ballot and that drove Democratic Party turnout to historic levels. Join us for Coffee With Texas Paul, live at 11 am eastern!

The secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now rewriting MAGA’s future Chris Buskirk put tech elites in power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory: An β€œaristocracy” is needed to move the country forward.

rightwing guy inherits insurance empire from his dad.

struck with revelation that the rich should run everything! "a proper elite that takes care of the country".

builds JD vance from dust to ensure just that.

profits!

Conservative MP says he’s considering joining Canada’s Liberal government The stunning twist moves Mark Carney one step closer to a secure hold on the prime minister’s office until 2029.

I don't normally have much time for floor crossers but I have a lot of respect for MP Chris d'Entremont. He was one of the few non-toxic members of Poilievre's Conservatives.
He was by far the best speaker in last session's toxic parliament.
Good for you Chris.

On October 23, Ukrainian forces launched a localized offensive in Kupiansk. Russian milbloggers said it failed, and there were only a couple of geolocations. Then, Russia's Kupiansk offensive appeared to sputter.

Ukraine's offensive didn't fail, and critical tactical advances were made.

ICE and the Smartphone Panopticon A new wave of digital tools has emerged to help citizens monitor Trump’s crackdown. But internet surveillance can also be used against you.

"Applications of technology that are friendly to the Administration are going unchallenged, in part because tech companies have become increasingly willing to support Trump's whims...

Only tools that exist independent of Big Tech seem like safe bets for dissent."
